My little guy wants to be Kick Buttowski for Halloween. And for those who don't know this character, here's a visual (of Kick, not my little guy):

Kieran informed us of his choice as soon as the Halloween chatter started the first day of October. I've been in talks with my husband as to how exactly we're going to pull this off, as no pre-made Kick Buttowski costume exists. I've known for weeks that the jumpsuit would have to be sewn.
And yet here I am, the day before Halloween, with this on my dining table:
Modifications I'm making are skipping the zipper in favor of a velcro closure, and I'm going to attempt to make the giant batwing collar (wish me luck). The rest of the costume will be cobbled together with duct tape- red down the sleeves, yellow over Kieran's rain boots, white and red over a Top Gun helmet we found at Goodwill. We're still trying to figure out the yellow gloves.
See that guy in the upper left corner of the photo? He's getting ready for Christmas. Meanwhile I'm just trying to get this costume assembled before he walks out the door tomorrow afternoon to beg strangers for candy.
Linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
{grin} You could always go for those rubber gloves used for household cleaning! I've seen some with decorative "flared" cuffs --- maybe embellish over that with yellow duct tape or an accent fabric more suitable to Kick?
ReplyDeleteLol, hope you carried it off!
ReplyDeleteHow cuuuuute! Now that it's the day after, I'm looking forward to the costume pictures! :)
